Getting healthcare is a challenge for many New Yorkers, especially those who are uninsured or undocumented. NYC Care, a groundbreaking program from NYC Health + Hospitals, is changing that. Host Dr. Michael Shen speaks with Dr. Jonathan Jimenez, Executive Director of NYC Care, and Maritza Terrones, Healthcare Director at La Jornada, about how the program provides healthcare to low-income and uninsured New Yorkers—regardless of immigration status or ability to pay.
In this episode, they discuss how NYC Care started, the importance of outreach through trusted community groups like La Jornada, and the program’s incredible outcomes after five years, including improvements for New Yorkers with diabetes and hypertension. Maritza also shares her personal story as both an NYC Care member and advocate. Hear how NYC Care is making healthcare accessible for thousands of people.
